good value multipuropse machine
Great features exactly what I wanted but using features can be cumbersome, too many choices per button on control panel, can be confusing. Tech set up well worth the money. Set up is not designed for novice, can be confusing for even a seasoned user. This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. Worst part is setup for the multi-use Tray, and on demand duplex copying. Duplex printing can be controlled in print settings. Multi-use Tray is not automatic and paper size has to be set for each print job. You can set a default paper size but the default has to be turned off if you need to change paper size ( print envelopes) then you have to reset default paper size.
Wanted a 500 sheet paper tray was told there was an optional 2nd 250 sheet tray, I'm still looking for it.

Burdensome software
i have used two Canon multi function devices over many years. The latest, this model, repeat previous experiences by adding a complex and un-intuitive set of software and drivers to support completely mundane and expected tasks like scanning, printing and faxing. In both LAN and USB setups the printer setup is lengthy, burdensome and problematic. For technical folks like me I can eventually figure it out, but I can't imaging a novice or less technical person trying to figure out the setup. More recently, upon updating from Windows 8 to 8.1 the entire functionality for scanning and printing over LAN was lost.
Canon, if you are listening, these are pointless obstacles in this day and age. Fix and simplify the software that drives your otherwise well functioning and properly priced products.

Great product, complicated setup
The functionality and quality of the printer is excellent 4-5 stars for sure. The setup process, having to download multiple software programs to use, and heavy drivers, etc., makes this a complicated setup. This is not an plug and play system. But if you can follow instructions, and have some tech intuition, then you will enjoy the product.
